I had been trying to pass the 911 for 4 laps. He'd pull on me slightly on the straights, but I was all over his ass through the turns. After shining the HIDs and hitting the horn a few times, I was getting pissed. I was faster, but only enough that I'd still need him to "pull over" to get safely by. What really pissed me off, thoguh, is that he didn't pull over when he was given the blue flag - 3 times!

So on the 5th or so lap of fighting with him, we're coming into the braking zone off the back straight. He brakes early and I close in. I intentionally nudge him. His rear end wiggles a bit, but he isn't thrown off line. My passenger says, "Did you just hit the Porsche?!?"

"Fubbck ya I hit him! He needs to get out of the fubbcking way!"

The Porsche driver gives me the finger as I pass him, so I return it with a few obscenities.

A few turns later, we come to the S curves, and the Porsche comes in hot. I have the line, but he sneaks inside and taps my right-rear quarterpanel.

It sends me sideways, and I just barely save it, but not before I drop 2 wheels into the dirt. It takes me 2 laps to catch up with him, but when I do, I'm fuming. In the video, my passenger was talking to me, but I was speechless the full 2 laps - weird considering I was quite vocal just the lap previous.

So we get to the same S curve where he spun me out, and I return the favor, but on the left-hand turn instead. I just barely nudge him, but send him flying into the dirt, sending up dust clouds of WRC proportions.

We're both black flagged immediately, and pulling into the pits, the Porsche guy jumps out of his car. Thankfully, the SCCA track officials were already there waiting for us.

...

SCCA: "If there's anymore driving like that, you'll both be thrown off the track and your SCCA licenses revoked."

Porsche: "Did you not see what he did? The kid spun me out!"

Me: "Well, you should've pulled over!"

Porsche: "I'm not pulling over for that Honda!"

Me: "This Honda was kicking your ass. And I'm bone stock."

[SCCA official motions me to be quiet.]

SCCA: "Sir, we gave you the blue flag several times. You should've heeded it the first time. If anything, you should thank me for not black flagging you earlier."

Porsche: "When was bumping ever allowed?"

SCCA: "Again, sir, you were given the blue flag several times. I'm sure you know what the blue flag means?"

Porsche: "Yes."

SCCA: "And you see those numbers on his car? He's in Advanced A. What class are you in?"

Porsche: [sheepishly] "Novice A."

SCCA: "Exactly. He's in a faster category. If I give you the blue flag, you let him by, Honda or not. I don't care if you're driving a Ferrari Enzo, if he's faster and I'm giving you the blue flag you'd damn well better let him by!"

Porsche: "Yes, sir."

[SCCA official turns to me.]

SCCA: "As for you, Alex, you pull any more shit like that and I'll make sure you don't set foot on this track ever again. I don't care who your dad is. Understood?"

Me: "Yes, sir."

SCCA: "Now get your car out of here. You're blocking the garage entrance."

Later that day we were reviewing the footage...

The SCCA official chuckles, "That's one helluva move, but it is strictly forbidden by the SCCA. It will NOT happen again."
